LinkButton not working due to validation control field

Question

In my .aspx page which derives from a master page I have a contact form which uses some validation, such as the RequiredFieldValidator and RegularExpressValidator.

At top of my page I have a link bar and whenver I am at contact.aspx I can't navigate to the other pages as if that I need to fill in the necessary data so that it satisfies the validator. How can I fix this?

Answer 1

Set the CausesValidation property of the controls in your link bar (I'm assuming they're LinkButtons) to False.
